She was very happy, I only charged her for the exact cost of my lumber and what I figured would’ve been half my labor cost, because she was my first paying customer and I wanted to make sure her word of mouth advertising was going to be lets say outstanding. She got me 3 more jobs in a week, I work very slow though. to slow for some people though, I work slow partly for health reasons and partly because being a retired tool maker close isn’t good enough and in woodworking close is all you can get sometimes, it drives me crazy.

Those tables are strong enough to stand on, everything was put together with mortise and tenon joints which is my favorite joint to use. Only the top is put on with screws so it can be taken off if needed. I always tell people that what I make for them will be fixed free for life as long as I’m alive and physically able, haven’t had anything brought back yet though in time I’ve been making things for people.
